I used JR Electric for a quote on various electrical projects in my house. I was very happy with the response and the quality of work. I would definitely use JR again. read more

I have worked with lots of contractors in the past and they are always a mixed bag. My entire experience with JR Electric has been nothing but pleasant. Responses were timely and there was no pressure tactics, unnecessary work, etc. David and his team came and diligently and carefully did their work in the house to install recessed lighting. Some contractors treat the house as if it were a construction site but I never got that feeling with JR electric. The team was very easy to work with and they got the job done quickly and efficiently. I would have no problems recommending them to others we know. read more

I called JR Electric on Friday when I needed my circuit breaker changed after it turned out that it was affecting my AC short cycling. It was a heat wave and my family and I were literally dying in the house. They came the same day of me calling them and they replaced it and put some liquid on my coils to make sure it runs properly. They had a great service and attention to detail and great job responding. I highly recommend and I wish them the best in business. I would call them again. read more

I called JR Electric around 9am and explained the problem with my malfunctioning landscape lighting. David was very courteous and promised to stop by later in the day to asses the issue. Sure enough he showed up with his assistant. They were able to troubleshoot the problem within 15 minutes (bad GFI box) and wrapped up the fix within half an hour. Superb service! Congratulations on your successful business David! We will definitely be using you again. read more

Outstanding workmanship. David and his co worker did a fantastic job. Now I have no worries about my circuit breakers popping off. SO happy!!! read more

These guys are great! While our issue wasn't urgent they showed up quickly. Fixed our issue and we were happy with the work. Thank you!

We are so impressed with JR Electric! Our dryer stopped working, and we learned that our outlet was only putting out 120v and not 240. I contact JR because of all the positive Yelp reviews on Friday morning, and they got back to me very quickly and set up an appointment for that day at 2pm! Two workers showed up, fully gloved and masked, right on time. They diagnosed the problem and were able to replace the broken breaker just a little later. I highly recommend! read more

The Best $450 Ever Spent..... Pros: Excellent detectives. On time. Explained how they'd proceed. Reasonable cost. Nice guys. Cons: None. NOTE: This problem was like a science experiment. Agony of distress blared from alarms which worked fine. In the end, it was a faulty CO2 alarm sending signals to nearby smoke alarms - although the CO2 box itself did not make the slightest sound. Stars: - Overall: 5 - Scheduling: 5 - Promptness: 5 - Explanations: 5 - Thoroughness: 5 - Helpfulness: 5 - Friendliness: 5 - Cost: 5 - Value: 5 My wife and I arrived home exhausted from our 10 day vacation. You know the feeling. One vacation leaves you so tired you need another. We opened the door from our garage into the house and guess what? Sirens were blaring. We quickly figured it was not our burglar alarm going crazy, but one or more of our fire/carbon monoxide alarms. I dropped the luggage and changed the battery in the 2 most likely culprits. No success. So we turned to Yelp and called the highest rated electrician in San Jose...Electrical Residential Services...also know as JR Electric. My wife spoke to David, the owner, who said he could make an emergency visit in about 3 hours at 7 PM. David arrived at 645 PM...examined the situation and concluded a 2 person team would need to return the next morning around 9 AM to inspect each alarm ( if required )...including one in the ceiling 18 feet above the ground. His estimate was $450 and we agreed. The nightmare continued. We had irregular blasts from at least 2 directions which prevented us, and probably our neighbors, from getting any sleep. Stranger still...although one suspicious alarm was removed from the ceiling and stripped of its battery...it continued to honk on the kitchen counter through the night. Was our house haunted? The following morning, David's son and an assistant arrived on time with a huge ladder from the nearby Home Depot ( part of the estimate ). They replaced batteries, bought 2 new alarms and got the screeching to blare less often, but restful sleep didn't look likely for a second night. While I was at work, my wife exchanged messages with David who was on a job in South San Francisco. He said "I'll be there by 6 PM". David arrived at 545 PM, waited for his son and the helper to arrive with their truck and tools and snapped on his detective hat. Through a process of elimination, they determined each of the smoke alarms was fine! But why the torture chamber noise? Then they inspected a CO2 alarm WHICH HAD NOT MADE ONE PEEP during the last 24 hours and discovered the battery had died. David and his guys did not give up even when it seemed all possibilities led to a dead end. And, despite more visits and longer hours than expected, the original estimate of $450 was the final cost. Overall, David and his team met the criteria to earn 5 stars, including: - Arrived on time or earlier - Explained what needed to be done before doing it - Completed the work with a minimum of fuss and delay - No harm to the house - Nice guys - Stuck to their original estimate We would trust David and Electrical Residential Services with any electrical related needs or problems. read more

David is very responsive to get the quote and make the appointment for me. He also provided me updates on the expected arrival time, which is highly appreciated. Sergio, the visiting electrician, arrived right within the timeframe, and effectively got the problem fixed within an hour or so. He also patiently answered my questions and gave me professional advices on the options to upgrade electricity of my house. No wonder why they received overwhelmingly positive feedback here. Highly recommended. read more

I had 15 recessed lights and 5 closet lights to have installed. I got bids for 5 electricians here on yelp. David was straight forward from the start. He provided his written bid on the spot, no going back to the office to work the numbers. David's price was half the other electricians on yelp. He offers to help me save more money by having me buy the lights at Home Depot. He offered, at no charge, to meet me at the store and guide me. At every step David was on time and kind. I felt very comfortable with him in my house. He was kind and gentle to my family, always professional. I could not be present during all the work, David, without me having to ask, kept me updated, sending photos of the progress. Who does that! I was so impressed with the constant, clear communication! The quality of work was perfect. No wall damage, everything measured and placed with laser precision. When David and his assistant were cutting the holes in the ceiling for the recessed lights, they not only took the care to lay down plastic across the entire floor, but they also held a box under the hole to capture the debris, there was never any mess. I could actually be comfortable whole they worked, no hacking in drywall dust. I will hire David again, from the first phone call to him driving off in his clean van. I know I paid the best price and got the best service. read more

JR electric team came to my house to replace the transformer and chim after a new installation of video doorbell. After the payment, I heard the chim buzzing sound from chim and they came back to fix it. Really appreciate the attitude to fix everything perfectly! read more

It was a great pleasure to work with David Garcia of JR Electric. He showed up on time and gave me an estimate for a job that involved fixing some poorly done work before we moved into the house. He quickly assessed the situation and even made changes in his schedule to get our job done ASAP to leverage the fact that we were having concrete poured and needed to dig a trench to put the electrical lines under the ground (not looped around the top of the house - as it was done when we moved in!!!). He was very pleasant and accommodating some slight changes in his scope to add a few other items. He was extremely professional and completed the job on time and within the budget. He will certainly be our electrician going forward with other jobs. read more

Replied quickly. (Called them). Excellent service, professional, and clean. Re-wired an outlet and fixed 2 others issues in the bedroom.

David and Sergio were knowledgeable and patient. Other electricians may have tried to upsell services and exaggerate the severity of the problem, David and Sergio were to the point. They fixed the exact problem within 1 hour and recommended to me what I could do to prevent my situation from happening again. The price was reasonable and now, I can finally cook in my kitchen and eat dinner in my dining room without using candles. read more

Very professional and knowledge. They came out before our planned appointment and was able to troubleshoot the problem which was affecting both multiple wall outlets and the furnace and resolve it in a timely fashion. I highly recommended JR Electric. JG read more

In 2018 I was provided with excellent service on my old mobile home. The cost was very reasonable. In 2021 I needed help again because the power went out in certain areas of the house. I had no wifi, TV or phone. I called JR Electric and they were able to come out in a day and one half. They diagnosed the problem as a loose neutral wire in the circuit breaker box and tightened it. They only charged me for a service call. A lot of times when I call a service person they want to upsell repairs to rebuild my old mobile home. I'm not going to upgrade this old place - just repair what is necessary. JR Electric did not try to sell me on rewiring my house and other unnecessary repairs. They are thoughtful and honest. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them in the future. RL, South San Jose read more

The crew from JR Electric is professional, kind, and thorough. During covid everyone wore masks while inside my house, and made sure to put down protective mats to protect the project areas, and took time to answer my many questions. David and Sergio helped me debug a circuit that would trip overnight, and installed a new outlet in a small space and both projects are working perfectly. If I have any electrical needs in the future, I'm definitely calling JR Electric. read more

David and Sergio are really great! They responded to my message quickly, and sent me text message updates as they got closer to my place for our scheduled appointment. During the appointment they repaired a broken dimmer switch -- they found the problem and quickly fixed it. They also gave me a quote for ceiling light. Overall, was extremely satisfied with the service from Electrical Residential Services! I would definitely recommend them :) read more

We booked JR electric for a big job when we got our new house last October and we are very happy with their work! They finished on time despite of the changes and additional work we asked them to do in the process. David, the owner is very professional and easy to work with. He was very responsive and helpful. His team is very efficient and organized. I highly recommend JR electric and we are going to contact him again for our electrical repair needs in the future for sure! read more

My dryer outlet 220v wasn't working and David first chatted with me on yelp messenger back and forth helping me diagnose the electric issue, we rule out most of the issues but I still can't figure out the problem. He came the next day with mask and ready to go, teaching me while working super awesome. The outlet was fixed in 30min and my dryer is back into action. Good people will recommend! read more

I made a request, got a call back right away scheduled an appointment and they showed up the next morning. They replaced 2 GFCI outlets and sealed everything up and were finished within 90 minutes. Excellent service and great work. Would definitely use them again! Update April 24. We had a overhead garage lamp ballast go out, call them that morning and he showed up around 1. He had the ballast replaced in about 20 minutes and I got great service once again! Thanks. read more

These guys showed up at my house right on time. Prior to the appointment, they did a good job coordinating via SMS. When they showed up to my home, they were polite and very respectful through the whole process. I showed them what needed to be done, and I asked them for a quote on adding grounding for few outlets in my home, and adding neutral wire to some light switches. The ballpark quote I got was ~$300 per output for grounding them, which is approximately 3 times as high as other licensed contractors I found on Yelp. I cannot blame JR Electric for trying to make money, but I found this quote to be a bit too high. I would advise anyone browsing reviews to make sure you get enough quotes before selecting a contractor. read more

David from JR Electric responded to my call immediately. We set up an appointment and David and Sergio arrived promptly, wearing masks, and courteously donned shoe coverings before entering my home. I had 4 kitchen outlets that hadn't worked in years because a previous contractor shorted one outlet which affected the other 3. We had already called two electricians who couldn't fix the problem. David determined that one outlet had mixed up wiring and another outlet had wiring problems as well. I forgot all the technical wording. Lol. David and Sergio had all the parts needed to fix all 4 outlets. I am one happy camper! I will call him again to install two new lighting fixtures in the near future. Thank you JR Electric! read more

I have used JR Electric many times to address electrical issues in the never-ending updates to our aging home. Without exception, they are communicative, arrive on time, are professional, do an outstanding job at a fair price, and I always appreciate that they keep the work area clean. On one especially hot summer Saturday I called JR Electric in a panic because my dryer, oven and air conditioning were not turning on: they gave up time on their weekend to brave the miserable beach traffic to assist. On another occasion, I was told that I would need to cut a large hole in drywall to address an electrical issue and while it would have been easy for JR Electric to just agree with that plan and start cutting, they fixed the problem without the need for extensive drywall repair. I highly recommend this company! read more

JR Electric was one of 5 businesses that I contacted to get recessed lighting installed. Upon answering my call David immediately came over to assess the work to be done. He offered the best price and scheduled exactly when we asked. He arrived with his team when he told us he would arrive and took care with our property. David made sure that he limited the costs and damage necessary to install 14 lights. We were completely inexperienced in getting electrical work done and David took the best care of us. His team also made sure to leave everything as clean as when he arrived. We would absolutely do business with JR Electric again! read more

JR electric is the best service in town. I have used them on two major projects and was super pleased. I would not hesitate to call them again. David and the crew are very professional and they work very carefully in the house to keep things nice and tidy! Thank you, David! read more

I contacted several electricians from yelp and David from JR was the most responsive. I had electric go out in my upstairs and found that bottom breakers on my panel were damaged and burned out at the bottom. David came out quickly and diagnosed that contractors had miswired the bottom breakers during a kitchen remodel and cheated so they would not have to expand the panel. He quoted a reasonable price to replace the panel which is difficult in covid times because parts are hard to get and more expensive than normal. They guys who came out to replace the panel were great, professional, and went to extremes to get a couple additional parts to complete the job same day. Keeping their card as I would call these folks again in a minute for any future electrical jobs I need. read more

Sergio and Jose came out within 1 day, fixing our issue quickly and for the agreed upon price!! Thanks for the quick service, especially now! I know lots of electrical companies are very busy!! read more

We had bought a new induction cooktop in preparation for a kitchen renovation. But the old cooktop died before the renovation could start and we needed a quick install. I called JR based on Yelp reviews. David scheduled a 1-hr window for the next day and showed up on time. He and Sergio were knowledgeable, experienced and competent. They had to do some chipping of tile base and sawing of cabinet frame that protruded into the cooktop cutout so the new one would fit. They handled that well, got all the electrical done well and left us with a perfectly installed new cooktop. Communications were great throughout the entire process. I didn't compare prices, so I can't comment on that aspect, but for the time spent I think it was a reasonable price. I'd definitely use them again. read more

We replaced the 400 amp main panel and installed a transfer switch for our backup generator. The permitting process is a lengthy one and so is the coordination with PG&E. David and his partner took care of all of it and the actual installation was completed within 2 days. I was happy with the end result and comfortable with the price they quoted. They had clearly done this before and I would recommend them. read more

I called David after two circuits in our house blew over two days during a heat spell (had no idea we were running two swamp coolers on the same circuit, oops!). He and his son came out the next day to look at the issue and give me a quote. We weren't sure whether we would have to rewire any of the locations so I think the estimate was fair, and David was very good about explaining what he would do. They came back on a Saturday and spent a few hours locating the issues, repairing and replacing where needed. They had to cut holes in the walls but put covers over them before they left so we can take our time learning how to repair drywall :) Got our power restored and were very professional. I hope we don't need to call them back out again, but if I do have future electrician needs, I will definitely give them a call. read more

We used JR Electric to install recessed lights in our condo unit. We got bids from three contractors and their quote was in the middle of the three. They did an exceptional job. Did everything in one day and they cleaned up very well after. I highly recommend David and his crew. read more

Came down to give me a quote. I Spent about 40 min showing him everything. Was supposed to get back to me with a quote. Contacted him after a month and he was sorry that his phone had been acting up and he is busy for the next 6 weeks now. Being nice and knocking only 1 star off. I have to get back and do this all over now. read more

Everything was done according to my request. They were pleasant, helpful and did a great job. I highly recommend them! They wore masks the whole time while working, and cleaned up after their work was done. Awesome! read more

David has done a couple of jobs for us and is now working on my daughter's home. He is a perfectionist. We were very happy with the recessed lighting he put in our house.
